Two significant coal mine disasters took place here at the no 20 Shaft in Dalyston, Victoria, Australia
📌 The first occurred during the first year of operation on the 20th February 1931, when 4 men died underground.
Then disaster strikes once again, on the 15th February 1937, in which another 13 men died underground this explosion was so powerful ,it blew the cage out of the shaft some 40 ft above the surface, and hit the poppet head, making this the worst mining disaster in Australia's history.
The newspaper of the day "the Canberra Times" can be read from the national archives. (Link Below)

📌 This second disaster, in which Thirteen miners were killed from the explosion, resulted in a successful national campaign to improve conditions for all Australian miners.
So at least some good came from the sad deaths of these miners.
May they rest in piece.
The Dalyston township today, is nothing more than a few assorted stones and cement slabs laying around, and allotment numbers found on maps of the area.

Adani are an Indian mining company that want to build Australia's biggest coal port on the Great Barrier Reef coastline.
The port expansion will require massive dredging and dumping in the World Heritage Area, and poses a grave risk to an already vulnerable ecosystem.
When Adani built a coal port and power plant in Mundra, India, it destroyed the environment that had sustained local fishing and farming businesses for generations. Those villagers are now bravely speaking out against Adani, and they send a warning to Australia - don't trust Adani.

New Delhi: The Central Government on Monday decided to allow women to work in underground coal mines and also do night shifts in open cast or over ground mines, in a bid to bring about greater gender equality and generate more employment opportunities for women.
The government in a notification said it had decided to exempt the women employed in any mine above and mine below ground from the provisions of section 46 of the Mines Act, 1952, which restricts the women from working in mines.

This video follows on from the previous one. We tell the story of the excavations at the site!
From the video: The newspaper articles say that about 120 years ago, Kerosene Jack was seen walking around, peering at the ground in various beaches around queenscliff. He was an amiable kind of guy, but became strangely reticent when questioned about any treasure.
Nevertheless it is he who may have formed most of the legend of hte treausre. A pirates map had been tatooed on his arm. One article states that he lived in a shack made up of kerosene cans. Another says his name was Jack Karissimo. Some say his name was actually Stringaree Jack. He seems to have died decades before the big treasure-hunting syndicates were able to tackle the site, as an old man.
Every newspaper article seems to tell a different tale. It seems people began looking for the treasure in response to Kerosene Jack's drunken tales in the 1920s. One article from the 20s, claimed the council's main interest in the matter was simply filling in holes in the beach which had been dug.
Syndicates seem to have been digging since about 1900. A well-funded syndicate in 1935 located one likely location using dowsing rods. They began digging in earnest. In 1937 they abandoned their almost fifty foot shaft as it was filling with water. By 1938, they had resumed their shaft, with a pump which could displace 50,000 gallons per hour. At one time they halted their excavation until they could bring in 'powerful submarine lights'. They also brought in huge steel cylinders to shore up the shaft they had dug, spending thousands of pounds on their enterprise. Alternately, the articles seem to be suggesting these steel cylinders were a kind of bathysphere, for men to work in. By now this syndicate had sunk various timbered shafts around a central hole, with a mining engineer in charge, with boring equipment. Labourers and divers were even hired but in the end, around the beginning of the war, it is said that their reward was only sand.
In one newspaper article from 1938, the journalist says he was shown some recovered treasure in Queenscliff, by one hunter. It consisted of pistols and swords supposedly once belonging to Ben Bonito. The hunter claimed that he was refused permission to dig, as he did not specify the location, and they feared he would dig up the main street of Queens-cliff. At 58 feet, the team found an underwater room, but nothing came of it.
In the 1950s a new and even larger syndicate took over. They used a dowser who employed two sharp metal rods, to sense electromagnetic energies of the gold. When he walked over the site, the recoil was so hard that the rods snapped back and nearly cut his thumbs off. This was convincing enough for the syndicate to begin digging in earnest.
The syndicate was fuelled by the discovery of a seventeenth century Spanish coin near the cliffs. This however may have just been a plant. It was said to have been backed by 'wealthy western grazers'. A pump which could displace 350,000 gallons per hour was brought in, and a huge mechanical scoop. Allegedly, on one weekend, such was the newspaper frenzy that seven thousand holiday-goers from Melbourne arrived to shake their hands and wish them luck.
One article by a journalist claims that he was told by a publican that the syndicate members were in his bar, 'celebrating' one night and passing a round object between themselves.
Since it was run by an open-cut mining engineer, By 1955, the hole was being described in newspapers as a 'crater', sixty feet deep, with only an old 1880s Enfield rifle recovered. One story says that students of the nearby school are scared that gelignite blasting would shatter their windows, and debris was falling on students. Another story says the windows did shatter and the students were cut by flying glass. The syndicate apologised and promised no more blasting, but it was too late. The government swiftly stepped in and despite howls of protest, their licence was revoked, and the team banished from the site forever, along with all other excavations. Over time people would forget that the possible treasure even existed...
I decided to visit with some friends and have a look, we went to the blasting site and later some cliff caves on the other side of the peninsula. Check this out!

Firstly guys, please hit SUBSCRIBE, for more vids on LOST CIVILIZATIONS, as well as other stuff like self help
Now, we do certainly have a lost civilization in Australia. For a website on the Stone Circles at Derrinalum, Victoria, please see this link,
http://mountelephant.weebly.com/stone-circles.html
First of all I have no doubt about the former existence of a developed civilization in Victoria, this is just what he Aboriginals point out. They refer to something like a polity but I go a step further and say 'civilization'. I believe there is a lost civilization in Victoria, and the entire East Coast of Australia, was home to Polynesian kingdoms, or even kingdoms mixed with Polynesians as well as Americans, such as Peruvians, Easter Islanders, or others from Asia. There is in fact a lost 'Stonehenge' In Victoria, as well as in other parts of Australia!
Here is the original newspaper article on the Mount Elephant circles!
STONE CIRCLES, MOUNT ELEPHANT.
In various regions are found rude stone
monuments which are a puzzle to anti-
antiquarians. When they were erected, and for
what purpose, nobody can tell exactly, his-
tory and legend being silent on the subject.
All that can be fairly said is that they have
been erected by the primitive inhabitants of
the localities where they are found, and that
they constitute the sole memorial they have
left to future ages. Probably, they were,
originally consecrated to religious uses; or,
what is more probable still, they were tombs
before they were temples, primitive religion
having apparently grown out of, or having
been at all events closely associated with,
a certain form of worship addressed to
the spirits of deceased ancestors. In that
case it may be easily conjectured that the
stones referred to are relics of larger, struc-
tures, presenting in their complete form a
mound-like appearance, and that the stones
are merely what remain of the structures
when the clay, timber aan other materials
have dissapeared. The stones are often of
immense size, and they are generally
raised to form a circle. Stonehenge pre-
sents a familiar example of such struc-
tures, and similar stone circles are met
with as far north as the Hebrides and as far
south as Australia and the islands of the
Pacific. Mr. Ormond, in a letter to Sir J.
Y.Simpson, says that he has seen many,
especially near the Mount Elephant Plains
in Victoria. They are from ten to one
hundred feet in diameter, and sometimes
there is an inner circle. The stones com-
posing these circles or circular areas vary in
size and shape. Human bones have been
dug out of mounds near the circles; the
aborgines have no traditions respecting
them. When asked about them they invari-
ably deny all knowledge of their origin.
When we note in connection with these
stone circles the circular dances which seem
to be common to almost all peoples as a
religious ceremony, we cannot fail to see in
these stone circles some mystic connection
with primitive religion. The corrobories of
Australia, wherein lighted boomerangs are
whirled about, are graphically described, by
Captain Stokes, and Sir John Lubbeck
notices, and illustrates a similar dance as
practised by natives of Virginia

" Australian resources firm Linc Energy said it had uncovered a huge oil deposit in the nation's vast outback in a discovery hailed Thursday by officials as worth some Aus$20 trillion (US$21 trillion).
Linc said two independent reviews of its three deposits in central Australia's Arckaringa Basin had estimated there was up to 233 billion barrels of shale oil trapped within its rocks."*
There is apparently a huge deposit of oil in the Australian outback, which the nation is excited about, because it may represent energy independence for them. It just leaves us wondering...how soon until we invade Australia? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss the discovery.

http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35568249
"Most of these deaths are occurring in the rapidly developing economies of China and India. The main culprit is the emission of small particles from power plants, factories, vehicle exhausts and from the burning of coal and wood."
China May Not Find Enough Coal to Burn
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/china-may-not-find-enough-coal-to-burn/
"Energy-guzzling China is facing a coal conundrum. Rapid urbanization and industrialization will keep China's coal consumption at record highs of around 4 billion tons per year by 2015. At the same time, the country will have to fight for coal security and to keep its supply line uninterrupted, according to the first energy outlook report from China's Energy Research Institute (ERI)."

Check out this 3D render created in-house by Dowdens Pumping & Water Treatment Draftsmen & Engineers – this project was delivered to Anglo American's Grasstree Coal Mine in 2009. This is a great example of the depth of scope Dowdens can offer clients seeking dedicated onsite Dewatering, Pumping or Treatment systems. This purpose built PumpStation collects mine water underground (containing coal particles in fines to solid pieces around 30mm in size, silica [sand] & other minerals), transfers it to a holding dam before delivering it 346m vertically to the surface of the mine.
In the year gone (2015) Anglo American's Grasstree Mine reached the proverbial “holy grail” by producing 10 million tonnes of run of mine (ROM) coal. Read more in the latest edition of International Coal News on how over the past 14 years Dowdens Pumping & Water Treatment's manufacturing capabilities & expertly engineered fluid handling systems have played a crucial role in the efficient operation of Anglo American’s Grasstree Mine!

New mapping reveals that 37.3% of Australia is covered by coal and gas licences and applications. That amounts to 285 million hectares - an area almost 13 times the size of Great Britain!
That means your home, your local water source, or even your favourite holiday destination could be at risk! Click here to check it out!
At risk are many nationally significant water resources, including:
1. The drinking water catchment for Sydney
2. The recharge waters of the international tourist icon Mataranka Hot Springs (NT)
3. The Yarragadee aquifer of south-west WA, groundwater resource for Perth
4. The magnificent desert rivers of the Lake Eyre Basin in south-west Qld
5. The Mereenie Sandstone aquifer which provides the water supply for Alice Springs
6. The vast water source of the Great Artesian Basin across Qld, NSW and South Australia
The mapping was conducted by Energy and Resource Insights, who compiled the relevant coal and petroleum tenement data and release areas from state and territory governments in April 2016. The full research note outlining the methodology from Energy and Resource Insights is available here, and a formatted map for printing is available here.

Adani Group is an Indian multinational conglomerate company headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Its diversified businesses include resources, logistics, agribusiness, and energy sectors. [5] The Group is the largest port developer and operator in India with Mundra Port being a commercial port. It owns Fortune, India’s largest edible oil brand through a joint venture with Wilmar International in Singapore. Now here is an article by Hubert Clark Crowell on Appalachian Coal Mining I sat there in the dark alone listening to the drip of water in the distance. Dad was ahead at the face of the mine setting the black powder charges before leaving the mine for the night. I heard a creaking sound above my head, and I moved to another waiting position a few feet away. Suddenly a huge bolder about twice my size fell on the spot that I had been setting just a moment before. Dad had told me to listen to the rocks and that they would warn you before something happened.
Black powder was used for the last shot of the day, it was cheaper and the smoke would have time to clear out before the next day. During the day we used dynamite made from nitroglycerin and sawdust that did not produce as much smoke. The miners hated the round boulders that stuck to the roof between the coal seam and the sandstone ceiling. You were always bumping your head on them or when you least expected it they would fall, blocking the road way or tracks in the mine. These boulders consisted of a very heavy rock unlike the sandstone or the fossils found in the border area of the ceiling. They are black like the coal and smooth like something left over from the past when the coal was still exposed to the surface. They could be fossils like the thousands of bamboo looking rocks that have to be picked out of the coal.
That was one of my jobs to lean over the moving belt line and pick out the rocks and fossils as the coal passed by. I was about thirteen when dad starting taking me to the mine during the summer months. He said it was to give me something to keep me busy and out of trouble while school was out. On Friday he would give me ten dollars for the week and I would spend it on the Saturday movies. Once he gave me a hundred-dollar bill by mistake and I did not realize it until I paid for my movie ticket. Of course I brought him the change back.
Being a boy, I played around the mine more than I worked. As long as I made up a good pile of dummies, paper bags about a foot long and the size of the dynamite sticks, and was around when the belt started running, I was free to roam and play on the tipple or explore the mountain side.
I must have some attachment to the coal mines of the Appalachian mountains. I was born in a small coal mining community in the eastern Kentucky coal fields. Dad was a supervisor in charge of one of the mining crews. He started mining in western Kentucky and had taken a job near Seco, Kentucky in 1941. I was born that year in a coal mining town. On December 30, 1970, I awoke after having a nightmare about a coal mine disaster and I shared the vivid dream with my wife. I had never dreamed about mines or disasters before and was quite surprised. Later that day we heard on the news about the Finley Coal Co., explosion in which 38 were killed. The location of the mine was given as eastern Kentucky near Hyden, Kentucky, only a few miles from Seco where I was born. The explosion was caused by excessive coal dust and other combustible materials, insufficient rock dust, and other violations. The coal dust explosion was so extensive that dust and other materials were expelled from all eight openings of the mine.
Thirty-four widows and 103 children were left to mourn the loss. I do not know what possible connection other than being born so close to the disaster could cause me to have that dream. I only lived there a short time and had no relatives in the area.
During the spring of 1954 we moved to Hale Town, Tennessee on the Tennessee river near the Alabama and Tennessee state line. Hale Town was no more than post office and a trailer park found up Hicks Hollow Road. A few miles north, Aetna Mountain Road winds up Aetna Mountain where dad leased coal on the side of the mountain. Claude Cain, a close friend and mining partner built the tipple and assembled the belt line that ran from the mine to the hill side for loading the coal onto trucks.

June 15 (Bloomberg) -- Colin Whitehead, an analyst at Fat Prophets, talks about the potential impact of strikes at BHP Billiton Ltd. coking coal mines in Australia on prices for the steelmaking commodity.
More than 400 workers at BHP's mines began strikes yesterday for the first time in a decade, disrupting production from the world's largest exporter. Whitehead also discusses Australia's planned mining tax. He speaks from Sydney with John Dawson on Bloomberg Television's "First Up." (Source: Bloomberg)

The world’s biggest miner plans to leave a global coal lobby in a dispute over the best way to tackle climate change.Anglo-Australian firm BHP disagrees with the World Coal Association’s (WCA) support for cleaner coal technologies over renewables.BHP believes climate change should be tackled by encouraging all helpful technologies, rather than artificially favouring one.The miner, which makes about 20 per cent of its £28billion revenue from coal, plans to leave London-based WCA by March.Brynn O’Brien, executive director of the Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility, said: ‘It is an emphatic market signal that the era of aggressive anti-climate lobbying is no longer acceptable.’Other fossil fuel producers are responding to climate change concerns. BP has just jumped back into the solar market.And Shell has doubled spending on renewable energy technologies.The WCA said yesterday it was disappointed by BHP’s decision.

Title: What is Australia–China relations?, Explain Australia–China relations
Created on: 2019-03-29

Description: Australia–China relations, often known as the Sino–Australian relations, refers to the relations between the Commonwealth of Australia and China. The first Chinese consulate in Australia was established in 1909, and diplomatic relations were established in 1941. Australia continued to recognise the Republic of China government after it lost the Chinese Civil War and retreated to Taiwan in 1949, but switched recognition to the People's Republic of China on 21 December 1972. The relationship between China and Australia has grown considerably over the years. Both countries are actively engaged economically, culturally and politically which spans numerous organizations such as APEC, East Asia Summit and the G20. China is Australia's largest trading partner, and has invested in Australian mining companies to help meet the needs of its growing economy. Relations between the two countries began to deteriorate in 2018 due to growing concerns of Chinese political influence in various sectors of Australian society including the Government, universities and media as well as China's stance on the South China Sea dispute.

After the Fukushima incident, we might say nuclear power is about to disappear from the World. Many countries like Germany have closed their nuclear reactors. Nonetheless, Asia is renovating is bet on nuclear power and, more precisely, China is leading a nuclear revolution. The economic growth means a huge growth on the power consumption and this means they need more and more energy sources, other than the traditional coal. But… they are going way beyond installing reactors… they are also building their own models. How? In this video, you will learn it.

Britain is banking on a series of ancient mines on its southwestern tip to secure a slice of the global electric car revolution.The English county of Cornwall and the surrounding area boast one of the world's largest tin deposits yet their centuries-old mines have lain abandoned since the 1990s when a collapse in prices for the metal made them unviable.Now however a rise in demand for tin, along with other metals that can be used in electric vehicles, electronics and renewable energy, has helped create a global deficit and quadruple prices.British officials are supporting reopening of the mines and seeking investment, leading to a mini-rush of mining companies into the area.In neighbouring Devon one company has already begun operating a mine for tungsten and tin.Adding to the potential, new research shows the extent to which mines also contain deposits of lithium, the so-called metal of the future.The first industrial metals mining in Britain for decades represents the country's best shot at securing a piece of the supply chain for car batteries as well as renewable energy grid connections, officials told Reuters.'We need to ensure the secure supply of the technology metals and critical minerals,' said government lawmaker Pauline Latham, who heads a parliamentary mining group.'This is necessary with China owning the majority of the market and the potential of a global trade war between China and America.'The charge into southwest England is being led by smaller firms, mainly foreign miners with a higher risk appetite.About half a dozen companies are exploring in the area, with the biggest players being Canada's Strongbow Exploration, Australia's New Age Exploration and Wolf Minerals, listed in Sydney and London.In the largest Cornish project planned so far, Strongbow is seeking to extract tin at the 4 km-long South Crofty mines as a result of the improved tin market economics.'The timing is better because global capital markets have a much more receptive attitude towards mining projects,' Strongbow CEO Richard Williams said.'This gives us a good chance of delivering on South Crofty.'The company needs to raise project financing of about £80 million ($110 million).To that end, it plans to seek a secondary listing in London this year.It aims to start production in 2021, but first must pump out water that has accumulated over decades of dereliction.New Age Exploration and its joint venture partner Strategic Minerals said in March they had found tin, tungsten and copper - all useful for electric vehicles - near Plymouth.They have invested about £1.9 million ($2.65 million) in the project, which is at an earlier stage than South Crofty, and are looking to raise financing.Just over the English border in Devon, Wolf Minerals has begun operating a mine for tungsten and tin.One advantage that Britain has, in terms of tin mining and investment, is that it is a stable location compared with big-producing nations such as Democratic Republic of Congo and Myanm

Around 200 people gathered at the Shire Public Hall in Bacchus Marsh on Monday night to find out more about Mantle Mining's proposal to explore and mine for brown coal nearby. Coincidentally, Mantle Mining had begun their exploratory drilling near the Bacchus Marsh airstrip that same day.
You can listen to excerpts of an interview with Mantle Mining managing director Ian Kraemer here: http://theballaratindependent.com.au/news/article/our-neighbour-the-coal-mine-bacchus-marsh
Organised by the Moorabool Environment Group, Mantle Mining had been invited to speak at the meeting but did not have a representative willing to do so in attendance.
